Chapter 152 Don't Come Over Here
In the afternoon, Jingyuan came to the door.
Zi Yuan took a box of things back to Yongning Pavilion and waited until Qiao Wanyan woke up before going over.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Jing Yuan to bring you some burn ointment."
Qiao Wanyan rubbed her sleepy eyes, got out of bed, sat in front of the mirror and let the maid comb her hair. She stretched out her hand lazily, and Ziyuan immediately came forward and knelt on the ground to apply ointment on her.
"Miss, I heard that Wei Mo went to Yunjian Yan Si, and after she left, the shopkeeper directly took the soap off the shelves. I don't know what Wei Mo said."
Qiao Wanyan half-closed her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. "The shopkeeper doesn't dare to continue selling soap. Do you think he will go to Qiao Yihuan to settle the account?"
Zi Yuan thought about it and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, she is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Even if the shopkeeper is dissatisfied, he wouldn't dare to come to the Shangshu Mansion to ask for an explanation, right?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "What if the Shangshu Mansion doesn't intend to care about her shameless act of stealing other people's formulas and cheating people?"
Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "If the shopkeeper doesn't know, I'd like to kindly tell him!"
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Zi Yuan is getting smarter and smarter! She is now smarter than even a five-year-old child!"
When these words were spoken, the maids in Yongning Pavilion lowered their heads and laughed secretly, but no one dared to laugh out loud.
Zi Yuan pouted, "Miss, you are making fun of me again~"
"Miss, the master asks you to go to Qiyun Hall."
After dressing up, Qiao Wanyan went to Qiyun Hall. Minister Qiao and Jin were both there. When they saw their daughter coming, they smiled.
"Come in, Yanyan. Mother has asked someone to make a dress decorated with South China Sea pearls. Do you like it?"
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were filled with amazement, "Mom, this skirt is so beautiful!"
Jin smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Minister Qiao said, "My daughter, Dad asked you to come here because I want to tell you something. Isn't it the Spring Search Conference held every four years? The emperor will summon the Xiling envoys to the Shanglin Paddock this time. The scale is grand, so all civil and military officials can also bring their families with them."
Qiao Wanyan was not surprised that the envoy from Xiling, the prince of Xiling, was coming.
She thought about what was written in the storybook and suddenly smiled.
"What are you so happy about, girl?" Minister Qiao's heart melted when he saw her smiling face.
After knocking, Yao shook his head, took Jin's arm and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something interesting. Dad, are you only taking mom and me with you this time?"
"Your mother has never liked these things, so she wants to stay in the mansion. As for Qiao Yihuan, Daddy doesn't plan to take her with him either."
She had offended the emperor. Although the emperor did not implicate the Qiao family, he would not take such a shabby daughter with him.
Even if the prince spoke this time, he had to refuse, so as to avoid any trouble that would embarrass him.
At noon the next day, Qiao Yihuan scooped up a spoonful of white porridge and before he put it into the little beggar's broken bowl, he suddenly saw someone overturned the table. He was so frightened that he dodged backwards.
A young man shouted angrily: "You are the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and you actually did such a deceitful thing. Return the money quickly!!!"
Qiao Yihuan looked at the angry man and asked, "Who are you? When did I cheat you out of money?"
The man sneered, "My name is Zhou Yu, and I'm the son of Yunjian Yansi's shopkeeper! You stole the formula from somewhere else and sold it to my father, causing my father to suffer heavy losses. I also gave you so much money for nothing. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
Qiao Yihuan was confused when he heard this. Yunjian Yan Si, that should be the formula of soap.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I developed the soap formula myself. What do you mean by stolen formula?"
Zhou Yu said loudly: "Everyone come and listen, this woman stole the soap formula of the Tenth Princess and sold it to my father, and made my father give her a full 100 taels of silver. Not only that, but she also made my father give her 50% of his income every month! Now that the princess sent someone to find my father, he realized that he was cheated. What do you think, should I ask her for money???"
The crowd was silent. All those present were poor people and beggars who had received favors from Qiao Yihuan.
To them, where the money comes from is of no concern to them. As long as they have porridge to drink, everyone is a living Buddha.
Some people began to defend Qiao Yihuan, saying that this was a good thing to rob the rich and help the poor. Some people even surrounded Zhou Yu directly.
Zhou Yu didn't care and kicked the porridge bucket at his feet away. "Pay back the money! Pay it back quickly! If you don't pay back the money, I will sue you at the government office. I don't believe that there is no law under the feet of the emperor."
Dare to hit him? Then he will blackmail this shameless woman to death!
Qiao Yihuan was a little bit unbelievable. The princess went to Yunjian to find Yan Si? How could it be possible?
Although I haven't had much contact with the Tenth Princess recently, we used to be good friends and I even saved her life. How could she repay my kindness with evil?
What's more, although she was an unpopular princess, she was not short of money. Why should she destroy her own livelihood?
"I...I didn't! The recipe was developed by the princess and I. I just want to sell the recipe to buy food to feed these poor people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the crowd even started to push Zhou Yu, and more voices spoke up for Qiao Yihuan.
He Yanli was passing by here when he heard the noise outside.
The guard reported the whole story clearly, and He Yanli said calmly, "It's fun."
He Yanli closed his eyes and said, "Go back home."
As soon as these words were spoken, a familiar voice was heard outside.
He Yanli opened his eyes, opened the window that he had just closed, and looked towards the source of the sound, "Stop the car."
In the distance, Qiao Wanyan got off the carriage.
Her figure was as light as a dancing butterfly, and her jade-white skirt moved in the wind, as if she was a goddess from the nine heavens descending to the earth, making everything in this world become a foil.
There was a faint sound of people gasping in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this person who did not look like an ordinary woman, and they could not take their eyes away.
"Sister, it was only after the shopkeeper of Yunjian Yansi found the father in Shangshu Mansion that he knew what stupid things you had done!" Qiao Wanyan's tone was gentle but slightly accusatory and helpless.
Qiao Yihuan was a little overwhelmed. She had never expected that things would become so serious.
Why did the Tenth Princess push herself like this? It was just a recipe, why was she so stingy?
Qiao Wanyan approached, and the dozen or so attendants behind her also followed and looked at the poor people and beggars vigilantly.
Qiao Yihuan felt inexplicably uneasy as he looked at the calculating smile on the corner of her mouth. He was afraid that she would add fuel to the fire and that he would not be able to argue with her and would be humiliated in public.
